In Major League Soccer the spring cleaning seems to come in summer. Clubs left and right are releasing players that they don’t need anymore and others are starting up the trade circuit to improve their roster.

I saw this news earlier today and immediately though “why haven’t other expansion clubs done this before?” Well really only Seattle could do it since they were basically being “promoted” to the big show last year.

Christian Gomez will return to DC United in a deal sometime in the coming week. What will the Rapids get in return for the former MVP? Steve Goff is telling…[continue reading]

Things are moving a little slow today. I spent some of the morning squaring away things for this year as far as getting a media credential here in Dallas goes, but I also have some work elsewhere as far as those things go. I thought I would add some things to the offseason player movement…[continue reading]
